He Will Supply

July 9

We are living in a very problematic economic time. If you are one who is inclined to see the hand of God moving through circumstances, you may have concluded by now that the failure of once stalwart business institutions and the ruination of once mighty industrial giants have occurred because we have relied upon man rather than on God.

In our early years and through the trials and challenges of the years of our growth to become the world’s military and economic powerhouse, we were a people who honored the God of our forefathers. We recognized as did they, the hand of Providence upon us. We considered ourselves to be a people of ‘manifest destiny.’

Today, the ‘wise’ among us declare those who are people of faith in the Living Christ to be foolish. If our founders were alive to see their mockery of all that is right and holy, they would stand aghast at the headlong plummet into false religion and godlessness that those in leadership positions over us have fallen. Though we have fallen long and hard away from the foundation of our republic, we who believe in His name still have the words of Christ to which we cling.

In Matthew 7:31-33 He said, “Do not worry about what you shall eat or what you shall wear as the pagans do; rather, remind yourself that your Heavenly Father knows what you need. He wants you to first seek His Kingdom and His righteousness, then He will add all things unto you.” We are not dependent upon the economy; we are dependent upon God Almighty! If we will turn to Him at the point of our distress, He will, “…supply all our need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:19.
